blow to the trade, and especially to the lat
ter firms, which were exchanging paper
with Krofft, Goss & Co. and the Illinois
Wire Fence Company. The latter firms
held considerable paper of the former when
they failed. Judgments for S56,932

last night that the New Haven failures
threw S6O,000 worth Of notes upon the
Joliet Company, which in justice TO other
creditors they could not meet. All the
members Of Kraft Goss e. Co, are sound
financially, though it will wipe out their
present corporation. 1t is said they will re-
slme after the settlement.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
How the Plainest Girl May Add to He,
Attractions.

Studying the types of women IN an inland
town, we are chiefly impressed by their
want OF Comeliness. closer anal ysls
showed this to be not so much the result OF
actual ugliness in form and feature rs from
apparently poor health. The compilations
were sallow or muddy looking, and in many
cases there was an attempt to correct this
aItifcially; the cheeks were hollow, and the
figure angular and undeveloped- The
strongest impression these damsels made
was that they We're poorly nourished in body
and mind They were narrow chested and
narrow minded, unable to take deep
breath Of fresh air or fresh doctrine without
shiyering. Yet they were in the midst Of
go-ahead community with no Paucity OF
food or IDEAS.
II there is one desire universal among Wom-
en-, it is the wish for beauty We all feel it
| alike, no matter how philosophical We may
be And this desirable quality depends sc
much upon health that no woman with any
wish for personal comeliness can afford to
neglect hVgienic considerations. These ILL
nourished young women we criticize ara
salAow because their food docs not provide
them with healthy blood to give them
rosy bloom, and they are angular because
they neither build up muscle with food OF
exercise. They have no idea OF walking for
walking's sake; If they go six blocks they
must take a street car, and though on the
banks of n beautiful river, they never row
when out in @ boat the attendant squire
must handle tie oars add to this fate hours
and diet largely composed of con-
fectionery and trash, and small wonder IL
poor compilations and angular figures pre-
vail We should like to put these girls on
diet of wholesome food, minus strong coffee
and unlimited candy; give them outdoor
exercise and regular hours, and make them
take up some active interest to keep their
minds alive. They might think such rules
-poky," but they would result in an in
crease of the personal comeliness We all wish
for
We can not hope for beauty without care
for both body and mind; both must be
kept in harmonious working, and the plain
est girl may add to her attractions by these
means.
Well enough to say that beauty is only
skin deep, but it has q powerful Influence
on those around us, and it is only another
sort of vanity which makes some women az
feet to despise it Real beauty is simply
perfect harmony of both mind and body,
and we shall be actuated by something
higher than vanity in wishing to secure it
